Pattadakal: Is a treasure trove of architectural wonders

Pattadakal is a treasure trove of architectural wonders, each with its own unique story to tell. The Mallikarjuna Temple is yet another architectural marvel known for its impressive entrance gateway and beautifully carved pillars and ceilings. Pattadakal , in Karnataka, represents the high point of an eclectic art which, in the 7th and 8th centuries under the Chalukya dynasty, achieved a harmonious blend of architectural forms from northern and southern India.
